Nick Clegg has accused the three police officers who met with Andrew Mitchell
at the height of the “Plebgate” storm of having “one intention in mind” —
ending a minister’s career.

The Deputy Prime Minister followed David Cameron, Theresa May and other
leading politicians in attacking the police as the Crown Prosecution Service
indicated that it was close to deciding whether to bring charges in relation
to the incident.

Mr Clegg said that Mr Mitchell was justified in feeling “sore” about the way
he was treated in a meeting during which the Tory Chief Whip was accused of
calling policemen “plebs”
